Popis: The propagation-rate constant of vinylidene chloride (VDC) was determined at 40 and 50 °C, respectively, by applying the so-called Ugelstad plot to the polymerization-rate data of the seeded and unseeded emulsion polymerizations of VDC. The values of the propagation-rate constant kp thus determined are kp = 64 dm3/mol · s at 50 °C and kp = 52 dm3/mol · s at 40 °C, respectively. From these kp values, the activation energy for propagation reaction was determined to be Ep = 4.2 kcal/mol, which is close to that of vinyl chloride (3.7 kcal/mol). © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
